Abstract: An assembly kit for cable winches, comprising a cable drum, a drive motor, a transmission unit, and a supporting frame, where the assembly kit includes various transmission housing parts for the transmission unit in order to enable the assembly of a cable winch in a C shape or in a quasi-coaxial shape. A method for converting a cable winch, comprising a cable drum, a drive motor, a transmission unit, and a supporting frame, between a C-shape arrangement and a quasi-coaxial-shape arrangement, for which purpose the transmission unit, in the case of the use of different housings, in particular specific housing shells that can be assembled in order to form the different housings, is assembled differently for the C shape or coaxial shape while the same parts, in particular identical shafts, are used within the particular housing.

Abstract: A pulley block for tackles has a pulley surrounded by a covering hood having inlet and outlet openings for a load cable, with a covering element inserted into at least one of the openings and retained by a retaining strip reaching behind an edge of the opening. The covering element has an opening for the load cable that is less than the inlet and outlet opening in the covering hood. The covering element is divided into first and second covering parts such that to mount the covering element on the covering hood with the load cable in a reeved state, the first and second covering parts can be inserted into the inlet and outlet opening via the retaining strips of the first and second covering parts, then reach behind the edge of the inlet and outlet opening, and then be joined to form the covering element in a mounted state.

Abstract: An operating device is provided for manually actuating lifting devices. The device includes at least one switching element arranged in a switch housing, wherein the switching element includes a tappet, which protrudes from the switch housing. The tappet is guided in a sleeve and is covered by a covering element having a threaded ring. The sleeve protrudes outside through an opening in the switch housing, and is held in the switch housing through a threaded joint. The covering element is screwed to the sleeve in a detachable manner through the threaded ring of the covering element. Optionally, a tool is provided for installing the covering element.

Abstract: A device for manually maneuvering a handling unit, includes a mounting structure for attachment to a handling unit which is operated through actuation of a control mechanism connected to the mounting structure. A handle frame is connectable to the mounting structure and includes a cross member and a pair of elongate grip elements detachably coupled to the axial ends of the cross member which is releasably attached to the mounting structure. The cross member and the grip elements can be selected from a plurality of cross members and grip elements of varying lengths to thereby establish a construction kit that allows construction of handle frames of varying configuration.
